COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING


oh shut the gently caress up, you know he won't tweet and you know you will still vote for him in the end so who gives a gently caress

of all the toons posted stantis is still the one that pisses me off most of all because I know people who think like this and its extremely blatantly obvious they either don't give a single poo poo about politics or are shy Republicans looking for the slightest see through excuse to vote for the fascists

The tweeting is of course not the problem. It's a symptom of the problem. Stantis and other neocons have no problems with Trump policy. Just his phrasing.


Trump himself is just a symptom of the modern Republican party. The policies would be the same or worse with Ted Cruz as president.

Meet Sentinel Prime, the guy who had the job before Optimus. Normally he's a goodie two shoes but this version from the current comic run is an insane despot who's corrupt and pretty loving stupid. Megatron starts out as a communist miner who's pissed off at how lovely the Autobots are and starts The Decepticons. Only later does he turn evil after a failed robotomy.

Perpetually a Pain.
Speaking as someone who was in kindergarten when Transformers was first airing its first two seasons in North America, I really didn't expect, as an adult, to have a decently written Transformers comic book. Shame it got rebooted recently due to some toy line BS (because it's still just a license from Hasbro in the end, and the corporate toy-selling still rules all in the end).

'The Autobots were centrist stooges for the Authoritarian government who rebelled against it far too late, while simultaneously opposing the actually revolutionary class-struggling Decepticons, who took their name from their political motto of 'You are being Deceived'', a line from Megatron, the blue-collar ex-miner voice of the uprising, all of which lead to millions of years of war in a pointless partisan civil war after the original tyrants had already been deposed' wasn't really something I expected when I was a younger adult, but it was good while it lasted.

I know in Transformers Animated, the implication behind the Deceptions was that they were the underclass (Megatron calls out "Deceptions, Rise Up" every time he transforms, for instance) and the ruling party was corrupt as hell (Optimus only being part of said group due to a technicality and being punted to the furthest corners of the universe so he can't see/do anything about said corruption gives him a pass)

iirc, In Transformers: Prime, Megatron was a lower-class gladiator who got tired of the ruling class BS and started an uprising, and Optimus (at the time Orion Pax) was a supportive friend of his who worked in clerical until the Decepticons went too far for his taste.

It's funny how many versions there are of Megatron being a guy who gets fed up with ruling class poo poo and starts an eons-long war.

Yeah, during season one Ratchet lays all that out in an expository flashback about how at the end of Cybertron's golden age the ruling council had gotten incredibly corrupt and ruled by oligarchs while most cybertronians lived drudge-filled lives barely making ends meet, and from that Megatronus (prior to shortening his name) arose as a dynamic leader of the resentful underclass. Orion was drawn to him because he was like the only one who not only identified what was wrong with society but also had a movement and plan to actually do something about it, but broke with him when Megatron was rejected by the council and began calling for armed insurrection and violent overthrow of the old order (and also to be named the next Prime, which is confusing as in-universe you only get to be a Prime if the god-spirit of Cybertron, Primus, chooses you so to be, but whatever).

This is why when you point out he tweets like a teenager with dementia you'll usually get "Oh I don't pay attention to Twitter." Which okay fine you don't have a Twitter account or use social media much, but his tweets ARE official messages to the public. Seems pretty drat irresponsible to just not know anything he's saying all the time.

Ben Garrison posted:

The year 2019 has been a year of bubbles

The stock market reached new all-time highs. This has occurred because the Federal Reserve’s ‘quantitative easing’ never really ended. Instead of consulting Congress like they did in 2008, the Fed simply creates currency out of thin air and hands it out to its member central banks. A lot of that easy money goes into the stock market, which mostly benefits the top of the pyramid that owns most of the major global corporations. Over 50 percent of Americans have no money in the stock market. Many millennials cannot afford to buy a house, let alone stocks.

For many, the American Dream will never become a reality. The wealth divide in this country continues to widen, thanks to the cancerous creation of the Federal Reserve. Instead of stopping booms and busts, they created larger ones, all to their own benefit.

The national debt continues to make new highs along with the stock market. That means more tax dollars will go toward paying interest on the debt. Paying down the principal is impossible unless the president declares a debt jubilee. I’m all for that as long as it also means ending the Fed.

The melt up will grow even more absurd and the wealth divide will worsen unless we change our current immoral system of money. The end of the Federal Reserve is long overdue. Let’s hope President Trump makes it one of his resolutions for 2020.

I don't think their "logic" even gets that far - it's just purely based on association and political convenience. It's just "bad man caused bad thing" and "our guy caused good thing". They were blaming Obama for high unemployment rates even before he took office.

That would just lead to a four-paragraph long rant about how it's obvious that Trump DESPERATELY wants to change things, but the Deep State nefariously forces him to do this. Along with a cartoon where Muscle Daddy Trump sternly frowns at a screaming, flailing Jay Powell (who has his midriff showing, of course).
